The two victims have not been identified. A third male passenger in the car was also injured.
The crash happened near mile marker 291.2 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County around 9:40 p.m. on Dec. 23.
A tractor-trailer was traveling east against the flow of traffic in the westbound lanes of I-76 when it encountered several vehicles.
The vehicle struck a Ford truck head-on, killing the two female passengers and injuring another. A third vehicle then ran into the Ford, causing minor damage.
The driver of the tractor trailer allegedly tried to flee the scene on foot before getting into a nearby vehicle, where authorities said he suffered from a medical episode.
Police took the suspect into custody and transported him to a local hospital for treatment. Troopers believe he may have been under the influence of an illegal substance at the time of the crash. A blood test is pending.
Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the incident.
